UK Trailer For PROJECT WOLF HUNTING Unleashes For Icon, Theaters, Disc And Digital This Year

I’ve only recently said a mouthful and then some about director Kim Hong-sun’s action horror thriller, Project Wolf Hunting.

Kaleidoscope will then release the film in select cinemas on March 10 before rolling out the flick on Blu-Ray, DVD and Digital from April 10.

A Case For Better Action Movies: Kim Hong-Sun’s PROJECT WOLF HUNTING Is A Rousing, Gory Action Horror Spectacle

Project Wolf Hunting arrives on Digital, Blu-ray & DVD February 14 from Well Go USA Entertainment. TIFF programmer Peter Kuplowsky’s use of the term “bloody bedlam” in his notes for director Kim Hong-sun’s Midnight Madness title, Project Wolf Hunting, is something I never thought would stick with me. Its recurrence comes now, juxtaposed alongside citations in various online blurbs and reviews comparing the film’s propulsive violence to that of Timo Tjahjanto or even Jesse Johnson. They’re not wrong, and to add, the levels of violence this film reaches certainly serve as a visual compliment to the film’s nascency as a potential franchise starter for action horror moviegoers looking to get their kick. I haven’t seen any of Kim’s prior work before this film either, although the five-time filmmaker’s representation at WME as of last September following the film’s Toronto premiere, and the grand reception and ceremony it’s been receiving since […]

GANGS OF LONDON Bring The Fight Home In Both Seasons On UK DVD, Blu-Ray And Download-To-Own In December!

I think Gangs Of London is probably the one series that’s recently caught my eye since it launched several years ago. Thankfully I’ve been able to screen most of the season two episodes ahead of its release here in the states five days ago, and though I’d been doing my best to cover the episodes without spoiling them for anyone who hasn’t seen the series quite yet, I think it’s safe to discuss a lot of the series revelations with fans on my own time. That especially includes folks in the UK who are currently in the market for some physical media to own in the not-too-distant future as Dazzler is proudly rolling out both seasons and the isolated second season starting next month.
